Leading audit and tax firm RSM hopes investing £1m into its Hull operations will help it hit ambitious 110 per cent growth targets by 2022.

The business, which is currently expanding its offices in Humber Quays, is in prime position for future growth, with key rival PwC recently confirming it was closing its Hull office in 2020.

Andy Capes, managing partner at RSM, said 2018 had been a hugely positive one for Hull, on the back of its City of Culture year.

He said: “We are seeing big, six-figure jobs coming into Hull which the city previously has not seen.

“It is a hugely exciting time for the region. We are seeing new industries emerging, and East Yorkshire offers a quality of life you cannot get in other places.

“For RSM, we are managing to get more and more people from across the country to come to Hull. Hull has always been a fantastic city, which big businesses like Smith & Nephew and RB, but people have maybe talked it down too much.

“Maybe the national media focus changed as a result of 2017, but Hull is truly on the up.”

RSM is enjoying much success from its Hull office.

Mr Capes said he had set ambitious growth targets over the next four years, and by 2022 hoped to see a 110 per cent rise in turnover.
